Walking into a salon can be a scary experience. A wrong cut can make you miserable for the next few days or even weeks. “How do I choose among the hair salons near me in Vancouver?” If you’ve been asking yourself this question, here are a few tips you can use.
Ask around
That’s always the first step. And for good reason. Asking around is an easy way to find the salon or hairstylist that you’ll turn out to love. Reach out to friends and family as well as officemates for referrals, word-of-mouth suggestions and tips, InStyle says.
Ask online
Another easy way to find and explore your options is to go to your social media page and ask: what are the hair salons near me in Vancouver? If you’ve got plenty of friends and contacts, then you’ll end up with a list of leads. Those should be enough to get your search started.
Know your products
Know what kind of products work for your hair. Admittedly, though, this isn’t something all people know. You may want to try other hair products to see which ones work best for your hair and which ones should be permanently banned from your bathroom shelf.
Consider your lifestyle
When you go in for a cut, styling session or trim, consider your lifestyle. If you’re always on the go and you’re often too busy in the mornings, maybe a bob or shorter hairstyle will do for you. On the other hand, if you love long hair and curls, make sure you have the time to take care of your long tresses. These can easily get in the way, though, so keep that in mind.
Do a consult
Go in for a consultation. You’ll learn a lot—including whether the salon and stylists are a good match for you—from that visit.
